The Volunteer and Service-Learning Center (VSLC) will offer an interactive session for faculty members who are interested in service-learning pedagogy and are new to the practice of incorporating a community-based project into their courses on Wednesday, January 22, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Bacon Hall 117. We welcome you to join us to explore service learning and the opportunity to engage students in community-based learning opportunities that meet course learning goals while also meeting identified needs in the community.

Topics will include

• an overview of the theory and practice of service-learning,
• support with converting a course to include a community-based project,
• discussion of effective methods of incorporating student reflection to connect the service and course learning.

Workshop leaders will be Gary Welborn, coordinator of community engagement and associate professor of sociology, and Laura Hill Rao, VSLC coordinator.

RSVP to Rose Coates, ext. 5811 or vslc@buffalostate.edu. We hope to see you there!
